Mario Buccellati (1891-1965) established the first brand’s store in Milan in 1919. Poet Gabriele D’Annunzio titled Buccellati “the Prince of Goldsmiths” because of jeweler’s extraordinary talent of turning gold and silver into luxury art objects. Through the years this talent has been the core of Buccellati’s style. In 1966, Gianmaria Buccellati (1929-2015) with his brother, Luca, took over the family business after their father's death. Today the House is led by third- and fourth generation Buccellati, Honorary President and Creative Director Andrea Buccellati and his daughter, Lucrezia Buccellati Wildenstein. Buccellati design is highly recognizable due to multiple engraving and piercing techniques applied to the pieces. Texture of gold recreating the look of Venetian lace, linen and tulle created by handmade Italian techniques inherited through generations. The world of flora and fauna is a big source of inspiration for creating famous Buccellati brooches. Weightless Buccellati butterfly brooch, intricate flowers, or powerful birds — all those pieces are highly sought-after because of their creativity and impeccable quality. All the materials being used by the brand meet the quality standards of high-end jewelry making. Buccellati cuff bracelets exemplify the brand’s signature style. Many of those are made using the “rigato” technique. It requires cutting multiple parallel lines onto the metal surface allowing to create that unique engraved finish.

A Mario Buccellati ring featuring coral, mounted in silver with gold accents. This vintage Buccellati ring centers around an oval-shaped cabochon coral. The coral is bezel set in gold and framed by a raised silver surround that features Buccellati’s signature openwork leaf motif. This intricate texture features small gold bead accents placed around the border. The band is wide and tapers underneath, with just enough weight to balance the size of the setting without feeling bulky. This Buccellati ring, with its tactile metalwork, draws attention to the coral as the centerpiece. It’s a vintage design with a quietly strong presence that does not need to compete for attention.
